this is in conflict with the IAB charter.

RFC 2850:

1. IAB Membership

  The Internet Architecture Board (IAB) shall consist of thirteen full
  members, composed of the chair of the Internet Engineering Task Force
  (IETF), and of twelve sitting members.  The IETF chair, who is also
  the chair of the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG), may
  participate in all official IAB actions except the approval of IESG
  members and appeals against IESG decisions. Ex-officio and liaison
  members of the IAB may also attend IAB meetings but shall not
  participate in determination of official actions.
